Editing Recursion (section)

==Decoding work done==
In a [https://youtu.be/iNvQlm9phEI?si=IwLNg2glIXxs5K-E video] Suzane Menzel reports on the process of decoding recursion:

#Identify Bottleneck: recursion in algorithms 0.00
#Uncover the Mental Moves of the expert 1.26-2.16 Uncover the tacit knowledge of experts about recursion. Recursion can be about structure and occurs when one of the parts looks like the whole; There’s a process part of recursion –building recursion.
#Modeling (1.12) uses analogies; an Alice Through the Looking Glass image shows how the parts look like the whole; also 2:18 Collecting back the Russian Nesting Dolls as an analogy for the process of collecting the pieces in a recursion that is so difficult for students to understand.
#Practice the recursion structure through code reviews 4.20 AND TBL quizzes on several kinds of algorithms. (5.20)
#Motivation 5.56 Team-based learning: students work in teams of 4-7
#Assessment 7.17 n=190 students final test scores were compared with students in previous semesters (non-Decoding methodology) to with Decoding and found significant results on both the list and tree recursion programming.  List recursion in semester w/out Decoding B grade avg; in semester with Decoding, A-. Tree recursion from C to B-.  As well, student commented that they enjoyed the Decoding approach, because their brains were being trained which “…challenges you to think in a completely new way.” They also enjoyed working in teams.
#Share  8.41: analyze results of the several assessments and Go public with them as in the attached video.
